Click on the Northeast section of this nifty interactive map and find that Columbia gained the #8 ranking in Trojan’s 2014 Sexual Health Report Card. Our present for providing our students with accessible sexual health resources should be increasing the RA budget to put Trojan brand or condoms of similarly tiered quality in every hall at […]

What kind of tomfoolery are those silly frosh up to now? One of Bwog’s sly sleuths details a person’s attempts at establishing himself as a rising Freshman on Facebook…or should we say Fakebook? Remember the Columbia impostors from the last few years? Remember all the stupid things pre-frosh posted in the Class of 2018 group? Bwog recently found out that these […]

Columbia students be warned: a 47-year-old man living on the Upper West Side was allegedly stabbed multiple times in the face, neck, and torso by his roommate. Sounds like he should’ve opted for a swanky Furnald single instead? (Gothamist) Some nerdy scientists have come up with a new way to treat eye diseases like Glaucoma. With these super tiny […]

Bwog recently faced the challenge of the minimalist pantry in Chopped: Bleak But Flavorful Edition, and now we’re back at it.

This week, we are proud to present Chopped: Chicken And A Triscuit Edition, where we turn the inexplicable remnants […]

Bwog overheard the following exchange between two Columbia students: 1: You’ve never pulled an all-nighter before? Not even for social purposes? 2: Yeah, I mean, playing Call of Duty and shit. The lesson? Don’t be ashamed if you haven’t watched a sunrise through Butler’s portholes windows. Your copy of Call of Duty, on the other hand, is feeling a […]
